The Comedy About A Bank Robbery to end its West End run after 4 years

The Comedy About A Bank Robbery must end 3 May 2020!

Mischief Theatre Company's The Comedy About A Bank Robbery will play its final performances at the Criterion Theatre this May, it has been announced. The hit play first opened near Piccadilly Circus four years ago and will now be closing its doors on Sunday, 3 May 2020.

Whilst the news may come as sad to fans of Mischief Theatre, the company will still have two of its other productions running concurrently in the West End: the immensely popular Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre and the critically acclaimed and wildly entertaining Magic Goes Wrong at the Vaudeville Theatre, the latter of which recently extended its run to 30 August 2020.

Set in the summer of 1958, The Comedy About A Bank Robbery follows an escaped convict and his scheming girlfriend who are hellbent on stealing a priceless diamond from the vaults of the Minneapolis City Bank. They team up with six other burglars, and with the help of a sleepy security guard, it appears they might just have a chance at pulling off the big heist — that is of course until nothing goes right!
